"We just got back from a two week family holiday 1-14 Aug 2026. Two adults and two children 9 & 11. We stayed in the Adventure Park area but also had access to all other areas. We had a great time. Lots of activities during the day to keep the kids entertained with multiple pools, pool side entertainment and kids clubs etc…We all really enjoyed the evening shows and entertainment. Animation Team were exemplary. Food was really good at all times of the day. The main restaurant did get a little over crowded on some evenings - that is the only sight flaw I can highlight. Rooms were spacious and well maintained by the cleaning staff. 15 minute walk to the marina and nearby beach which was stunning. I would definitely recommend this hotel. We didn’t feel the need to upgrade to the gold package."

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for two nights in a twin room with a balcony. Overall experience was very positive with a friendly and accommodating welcome at reception. Room was functional and clean with a personal safe and small refrigerator included. There was some spots that cleaning missed in the bathroom around the shower but otherwise no complaints on cleanliness. The balcony itself did not have a view of the beach however it was pleasant to sit at in the evening. If you don't mind the usual bustle of the city and the view being more the opposite building than the beach the balcony is worth it. A buffet style breakfast was included in our stay which we took advantage of both days. Selection of fruit, hot and cold options were available along with some cereals and pastries. Hot options were different on each day, with some unusual options such as onion rings and chicken nuggets one of the days, alongside the usual fried eggs and baked beans. Overall the breakfast was good with fresh pastries and bread. A coffee maker is available as well as fruit juices. The pool and sun bathing area is located on the top floor, with an observation area overlooking the beach and ocean and pool bar. The pool is deep and clean but being high up on windy days may be inaccessible and unpleasant to lounge around at for long. The location is right on the beach with a number of restaurants and bars in walking distance. Bus station is about a ten minute walk away. If you saying in Arrecife I would recommend it."
